Thread: Old Scopes

It doesn't have any letters in the serial code, but the eye piece is larger than the objective.

For the others I make up a hollow square with red insulation tape, on paper, sized to suit the reticle. When I was much younger I could use the traditional black cross quite well but as the years passed it became practically useless.

I can relate to that!

Also I have noticed as the years go by I have to wind out the focus on my scopes, bit by bit, year by year...

that just creates tight arses....

I have got rid of most of my newer scopes and only use Kahles 2-7 power ones now(have 3)which they don’t make anymore and haven’t for quite a few years now, I’m a bush hobbit though, 80m is along shot where I hunt.they should outlast me I would say.

Just checked the M8 4 power on my Martini. No letters in the serial no but the eye piece is bigger than the objective lens. I suspect it was made 60' or seventies.
